Sorry, I left off that I think I have a solution. I can just call compileall.compile_dir() directly using the Python interpreter, which presumably knows where compileall.py is since it's part of the standard library. I've reworked the postinst again and tested it with a "real" python, (i.e. /usr/bin/python->python2.3), with no "real" python (i.e. /usr/bin/python does not exist) and with alternatives (using your python2.1 example). It seems to work fine. I will upload later today. The upload will close the bug. If you still have problems with this new version, write me and the bug back and I'll reopen the bug and try to come up with a better fix. Thanks, KEN -- Kenneth J. Pronovici <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
